Yes, one of our other MR member authors makes a comment in this thread about being able to have his books DRM-free via B&N's PubIt. But they don't give any indication about DRM status in the product info (like Amazon used to but doesn't anymore) and you'll have to let people know in the blurb.

DRM-free B&N books are just plain ePubs and I've had no problems converting any of the few I've gotten for reading on my Kindle. If you want to try for yourself, a lot of Smashwords-distributed B&N books are also DRM-free and you can pick a price-matched freebie to check, or just download the latest Samhain Publishing monthly promo freebie via the Deals forum if you don't want to dig for a Smashwords one.
